"Huo Hai is a man who is deceitful and resourceful, and we have fallen into the trap again." Cao Cao gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Even if they are robbed of food, they will be in a state of defeat, because if people don’t eat, they will be soft-fed in a day.

The sound of horse hooves roared, and soon Wen Chou rushed back with more than a thousand cavalry. Seeing the situation in the camp, he was also confused.

After nightfall, a light cavalry suddenly appeared within his patrol area, and he kept chasing him around for more than an hour before he realized he was fooled. By the time he came back, the camp had already ended.

After the Yellow Turban Army returned to the camp, they closed the gates immediately and kept the walls tightly, so that Cao Cao and others had no intention of attacking, because they could not break through Zhang Bao's camp in their heyday, let alone the fact that their strength was greatly damaged now.

"Let's go to General Huangfu's camp." Yuan Shao took the lead in making the decision.

However, Cao Cao had different opinions. He believed that he should march quickly to meet with Zhu Jun to avoid Zhu Jun being ambushed by Huo Hai and fighting alone.

As for Huangfu Song, he could send someone to inform him. After all, the camp has been standing there for so long and its defense has been stable. If Huangfu Song does not have the ability to attack, he still has the ability to defend.

However, Yuan Shao and Han Fu did not think so.

Yuan Shao knew that Zhu Jun had a monk group, and there were powerful generals like Sun Jian leading troops, and mysterious old monsters like Wu Kui were so strong that they didn't need to worry at all.

On the contrary, there were no strong generals on Huangfu Song's side, and no monks' orders, which was even more dangerous and needed support. Han Fu also had the same opinion as him.

"Do you know what it means if General Zhu is wrong?"

"It means that our grain road will be cut off, and it will take more than 200 miles from Daying to Handan City and Yecheng. It takes four or five days for the chariots and horses to transport grain to Daying. If they cut them off, we will have to retreat, let alone take down Guangzong City and march northward." Cao Cao had already made up his mind not to follow them and persuaded him.

He can now see that he was together and he was not in charge of each other, so he could not fight this battle. Three ordinary people discussed things together, and they might become smarter. Three smart people were together, especially when they had their own ideas, they could only be bad things.

Although the camp was lost this time, the loss of only two or three thousand troops was only two thousand. Fortunately, Cao Ren was not dead. Although the Cao family suffered some losses in this battle, they may have gained more. After all, there are now eight or nine thousand infantry under his subordinates who have experienced battle formations. After returning to Chang'an, his promotion was basically destined.

"March northward? Let's talk about this before you first!" Yuan Shao, who was a little guilty of opening the camp and letting the enemy in his heart, gave Cao Cao a blank look and went straight to Guangzong City.

His purpose was very clear. He put the blame for the failure of this battle on Cao Cao. Han Fu and he basically had the same idea. Anyway, he and Yuan Shao were all cavalrymen, and they didn't lose many people. Let's talk about the mistakes first.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao's back, snorted coldly, and headed west with his subordinates.

In the Yellow Turban Army camp, Huo Hai was washing the blood and sweat on his body with water. In the cooking room not far away, the smell of cooking rice was faintly heard. As long as there was food to eat, these Yellow Turban Army, which were originally ordinary people, would listen to the hello and work.

"Young Master, Cao Cao divided his troops with Yuan Shao and Han Fu. He led his troops alone to the west overnight, but Yuan Shao and Han Fu went to the direction of Guangzong City." A Black Mountain soldier dressed in disguise looked at Huo Haidao who was taking a bath.

They belong to the infantry sentry battalion, and the main function of clearing obstacles and transmitting messages is different from the cavalry sentry battalion. They mainly lurk and hide and inquire about information. They have a very strong skill in surviving and hiding in the wild for a long time. They usually lie in the ground for several days, just to grasp the enemy's movements and report it to Huo Hai, so that he can arrange strategies and tactics.

"Thousands of newly defeated infantry should not be able to walk fast. Let's eat well tonight and sleep well tomorrow, and all of them will ride to chase him." Huo Hai smiled and ordered.

In fact, it was not that Huo Hai didn't want to chase him now, but that after more than ten consecutive hours of fighting, the soldiers under his command were exhausted and could no longer chase him.

In addition, after tomorrow, the army will fight a head-on battle with the Han army, and preparations must be done well.

After the soldier retreated, another soldier came to report that it turned out that Zhang Ning's victory had come out, and the expected victory did not appear. Zhang He was very cautious in using his troops. He felt something was wrong after walking out for two or three miles, and slowed down the speed of the march. After stepping into the ambush circle set up by Zhang Ning, he immediately reacted and led his subordinates to retreat. He lost more than a hundred cavalry and successfully escaped.

Moreover, when he fled, he killed nearly a hundred Yellow Turban troops. To be precise, he tied with Zhang Ning.

"Although Zhang He is not as brave as Pan Feng and Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he is a truly brave and conspiring general in the Han army. If he grows up for a few more years, it will be even more difficult to deal with." Huo Hai frowned after hearing the news.

Zhang He was still young at this time, and Zhang He in the later stage was a general who could stand by Zhang Fei, which made Zhuge Liang admire. Huo Hai could not take pure martial artists like Yan Liangwen and Pan Feng seriously, but he had to take Zhang He seriously.

"He should have led his army to Huangfu Song camp at this time. Our military strength is no longer a secret in the Han army." Wang Dang, who was also scrubbing his body, looked at Huo Haidao.

"It's okay. Even if they know, they have no choice, because they dare not leave the camp and can only sit and watch us besiege Zhu Jun's troops." Huo Hai said with a smile.

"Don't dare?" Wang Dang looked at Huo Haidao in surprise.

"Their troops have enough strength to maintain themselves, but they are not enough to divide the troops to fight. They will definitely choose to hold on to their position and then look at the situation."

Huo Hai said, wringing the towel and saying, "Cao Cao, the only one among the Han army, has some overall situation and strategic awareness, has rushed to meet with Zhu Yan. We only need to gradually transfer the troops of the camp to Guangzong City, and we can concentrate on leading the elite troops to deal with Zhu Yan outside Handan City. He has a powerful general like Sun Jian, as well as Wu Kui and a large number of monks. It is very difficult to fight."

"We have a lot of people! The elites under the command of the Earth General and the General of the Human Emperor were all transferred to us, with a total of 70,000 or 80,000 troops, several times their troops. Why worry about not taking them?" Wang Dang said confidently.

He was very confident in the infantry he trained. As long as the convoy arrived at the camp successfully tonight, all Black Mountain infantry would be able to wear heavy armor tomorrow. The hard power of the iron armored heavy infantry can be different from ordinary combat soldiers. When they fight head-on, they can completely push the Han army infantry.

"Once there are monks in the Han army camp, especially old ghosts like Wu Kui, the number of people is not considered an advantage at all." Huo Hai said with a not relaxed expression.

According to Zuo Ci's judgment on Wu Kui, he is at least a master with the peak of internal strength, and has at least two to three masters with the combat power of the peak of internal strength and some secret methods that no one knows. The possibility of killing him is almost zero.

"We will start preparing tomorrow morning, and we will join forces on three sides, and we will definitely..."

"No, if I can't fight this battle, I'm actually unwilling to fight. The most important task tomorrow is to talk to Cao Cao." Huo Hai shook his head and interrupted Wang Dang's words.

"Talk him about the reunion?" Wang Dang grabbed his scalp and said.

"Well, Cao Cao is knowledgeable and strategic, and he should be considered a person who is more loyal to the Han court at present. He knows that it is beneficial to everyone to let the north settle down quickly." Huo Hai nodded.

"Is he better able to speak than Liu Youzhou?" Wang Dang said in surprise.

Guo Tu successfully served as an envoy to Liu Yan and reached an agreement with Liu Yan. To be more precise, it should be a transaction. Now, every Black Mountain army knows that they are about to accept the court's enlistment. Wang Dang, a general like this, naturally knows Huo Hai's intention to seek resignation.

"They represent different groups and different political ideas." Huo Hai explained to Wang Dang.

"Oh yes, Cao Cao should be considered a party member! The position of a royal family like Liu Yan should be different." Wang Dang, who often listened to Guo Tu in the copycat to analyze the general trend of the world during this period, nodded and said.

"No, Cao Cao is not a party member. He should be considered a simple loyal minister now! He is just a little bit cunning and smarter.

Yuan Shao is the driving force behind the party members. Their goal is to continue to increase their own power and undermine the one in the palace.

After this war, they should have a better idea that only by having military power can they have the right to speak. I just need Cao Cao to help me promote this matter and set an example." Huo Hai washed his body, picked up a big cake, and chewed at Wang Dangdao while he was lying.

"If you support us in recruitment, they have reasons to lead their own troops in the local area. The young master's move is so great, but how can we let Cao Cao listen to us? He should hate us to the core now!" Wang Dang continued to ask.

Huo Hai smiled and handed him a big cake for Wang Dangdao, "If I don't kill Cao Ren, I will naturally leave an introduction to let him listen to me."

"Oh yes, it is difficult to relieve the medicine on Cao Ren's body if it is not a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. If Cao Cao wants to save him, he will definitely come to ask you, Master." Wang Dang came back to his senses and said.

He only now knew that Huo Hai had plans for every step of his plan, and considered various possibilities. Fortunately, he did not cut Cao Ren's head with one knife at that time.

"A monk can only remove the Gu, and a doctor can detoxify. He has Gu and poison on his body, but it is not that easy to relieve it. If Cao Cao wants to save Cao Ren, he must pay the price." Huo Hai smiled strangely.

The Gu on Cao Ren's body was caused by Zuo Ci, and his body was poisoned. This was caused by Yu Ji, who majored in medicine, and it was not so easy to deal with.

While the two were talking, the huge convoy of horses and carriages had already driven outside the camp. More than 2,000 vehicles of weapons, equipment and military rations were quickly unloaded by the soldiers and distributed to the hands of the Black Mountain infantry. Looking at their weapons and equipment, the soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army camp were full of envy and felt even more confident.

However, it was not long before Zhang Bao frowned.

"The people in Yecheng mobilized more than 200,000 people in the city to harvest. They harvested most of the food outside the city in just one day. We probably can't grab more food." Zhang Bao said.

Hearing this, Huo Hai's expression also darkened. Those old guys still hit the nail on the head of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army, their families, and the scattered people were millions. These people all needed a lot of food to survive the cold winter. They asked the Han army to force themselves to fight, but took the opportunity to master the most food in the north. In this case, as long as the Yellow Turban Army could not take over Yecheng, it would be considered a failure and would starve to death in the cold winter.

"It seems that it is even more crucial to convince Cao Cao to change tomorrow." Huo Hai sighed.

How can we stop the war?

The only way is that these gentry and powerful men don’t want to fight.

Because they retained Heishanzhai, they had the reason to hold troops in the local area. This concept may be difficult to say in the center of the court, but in the northern aristocratic group, it is very convincing because they all want to grow stronger and do not want to continue to consume it.
